Monogram 1/24 Terry Labonte 1984 Piedmont Chevy

[whatisdeletrazdoing]

Hi everyone,

My first finished build of the year. Texas Terry was my favorite driver growing up and I've always loved the look of the Hagan cars and the pre-aerocoupe Monte Carlo SS body. This build is stock, with the exception of Chimneyville Decals. Overall, the kit was a nice, fun build. I used Tamiya rattle can for the body and chassis. I went for an early season red chassis because I like the bright interior. For the rest of the car, I used Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics. My biggest issue was with the aftermarket decals, which peeled on the edges when applying clear. But it's going on the shelf and overall I'm fairly happy with it.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.  I always liked this livery, simple but eye-catching.

I was a huge Terry LaBonte fan. He was a gentleman race car driver. I built the Piedmont Airlines kit way back when: http://www.shamblesmodels.com/race-cars.html
